Severe Gastrointestinal Disease: Ozempic (semaglutide) is associated with gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and stomach pain, and can sometimes be severe
Some people notice more stable blood sugar readings or gradual weight loss
And if you notice any new symptoms related to your brain (or any other body part), tell the doctor who prescribed your medication
The restoration of tight junction proteins (occludin, claudin, and ZO-1) and reduction in circulating LPS levels suggest that semaglutide alleviates metabolic endotoxemia, a known driver of systemic inflammation and myocardial remodeling
These are uncomfortable but generally manageable if dosing is monitored
Semaglutide cannot be bought over the counter
